The best sales pitch isn’t about selling. It’s about clarity

That’s why you should:

  1. Use the 5-second rule. Find someone from your target audience and show them your product or pitch for exactly five seconds. Time it.

  2. Ask them one simple question: “What problem does this solve?“

  3. Listen. If they can’t answer quickly and clearly, your messaging is the problem, not your product.

Confusion is fatal.

If they don’t immediately understand your value, they won’t buy.

Make it crystal clear, then sell.
